For the first time in twenty years there are new questions on the citizenship test for immigrants. You can read all 100 questions and answers or test yourself on sample ten. This is harder than I’d thought. I got eight out of ten correct, having wrongly remembered that there are 430 members of the House and that Harding was president during WWI. How did you do?

Damn… 1 off on the # of amendments. Kind of an odd question though… isn’t the meaning and content of those amendments more important than how many there are?
Now I want to see Bill O’Reilly’s answers.
6.5 out of 10… a D-. When can I expect to be deported?
A friend of mine from Argentina, holder of a green card here in the US, is fond of pointing out when a political officer-holder does something (often with impunity) that would be grounds for denial of citizenship–and possibly deportation–were he to do it.
He typically gets to point this out on order of weekly….
Like Dan, I missed the # of amendments.
I got that one through sheer luck.
26…27…whatever it takes. Besides, that prohibition thing was a do-over.
I only missed the “President During WWII” one. Though, being a Government class in my high school does put me at a bit of an advantage…
I got eight out of ten, and noticed that one of the answers to question 9 is wrong. Puerto Rico is not a territory of the United States; it is a freely associated Commonwealth and very proud of the distinction which became effective on July 25, 1952. Public Law 600 adopted in 1951 authorized Puerto Rico to have its own constitution, which is what distinguishes it from a territory.
Takes 6 out of 10 to “pass,” right?
